Preparation

To prepare vinaigrette: combine first 11 ingredients in a blender or food processor, process until smooth.
To prepare salad: combine lettuce and remaining ingredients except chips in a large bowl.
Add vinaigrette; toss well to coat.
Serve with chips.
Note: to prepare vinaigrette without a food processor, just crush the garlic clove and vigorously whisk it and all the other ingredients together.
This is what I do.
